[cisco-voip] HP Jet Direct on back of Cisco 79xx phone

[Matthew Ballard]

I can't speak to the past, but I've done it somewhat recently with a either 7911 or 7962 and a HP M3035 printer and didn't have any issues.

Subject: [cisco-voip] HP Jet Direct on back of Cisco 79xx phone

I remember for years we always had problems when a HP Jet Direct printer was plugged into the back of Cisco 79xx phone.  The printer couldn't print.  Since then we've always recommended they plug printers directly into the Catalyst switch as best practice.

Was there ever a bug identified about why it didn't work?  Was it a phone issue or HP issue?

Customer has a need to plug a printer into a phone and I've suggested it's not best practice referencing the days of HP Jet Direct problems.
